National Young Leadership Cabinet

WHAT IS NATIONAL YOUNG LEADERSHIP CABINET?

The Jewish Federations of North America’s (JFNA) National Young Leadership Cabinet (Cabinet) cultivates, trains and inspires the most promising rising leaders to take on roles nationally and in their local Jewish communities. 

Young leaders from around the world come together once a year for Cabinet Retreat to establish a peer group, network to share best practices, brainstorm and troubleshoot community challenges – bringing their ideas and strategies home to continue growing engagement in the Philadelphia Jewish community.

THE CABINET EXPERIENCE

Cabinet is an intensive, community designed program for individuals who are looking to take a critical step in their Jewish lay leadership journey. 

Those interested in Cabinet are invited to apply each winter once applications open. After submitting an application, the Jewish Federation’s NextGen director will nominate candidates, and the application will be reviewed by the Jewish Federations of North America team. Selected applicants may be invited to participate in an interview.

Once accepted, Cabinet members will attend a retreat — a 3 day learning and development experience showcasing the Jewish Federation system.

Each year, Cabinet members are invited to travel abroad on an International Study Mission to deepen their knowledge of the Jewish Federations of North America’s work, in partnership with Jewish Federation of Greater Philadelphia. This experience on the ground in Israel and overseas allows participants to act as effective leaders, advocates and storytellers within the Jewish Federation movement.

Eligibility

Cabinet is designed for passionate, committed and driven leaders – ranging 30 to 40 years old – who are able to contribute $5,000 each year to their Jewish Federation.
